Riddles or offers?
Is this a riddle or an offer? I'm still not sure I've worked this out... It's amazing how many sales you can lose if people don't understand your offer.

Sadly the example you show is not a one off. Honestly, who comes up with this stuff?

You hope it is not anyone associated with marketing…

You know, I always assumed it was supposed to be confusing. So that people think “60% off the ticketed price” then if they protest (and how many people actually check their dockets anyway?) it can be pointed out and they look silly. Maybe I’m just a cynic?

You could be on to something here…it hadn’t crossed my mind but then, maybe you are not cynical, maybe I’m a little naive:)
